Ha SA-AN’s practice begins with clay—her earliest explorations rooted in the tactile and transformative nature of ceramic materials. Through her bare hands, form is not imposed but discovered, and from this origin her work unfolds as a sensory-driven sculptural language that seeks to reconnect what our hyperconnected era has fragmented: emotion, intuition, and human presence.

She draws upon the fragments of contemporary life—news, literature, music, corporate ideologies, and personal narratives—and reassembles them into a visual language that is both intuitive and multidimensional. Her work reflects the immediacy of today’s “question-and-instant-answer” communication culture, yet resists its superficiality by inviting deeper, more embodied responses. For Ha SA-AN, art is not a code to be decoded, but a sensation to be shared.

Her drawings are composed not with conventional tools, but with her bare hands, as lines resist formal constraints and meanings emerge through spontaneous motion. Lyrics unfold freely across the canvas, and cinematic moments are reframed as tactile visual landscapes. This sensory imprint extends beyond sight—into touch, sound, and bodily intuition—allowing even those who cannot see to experience the emotional weight of the work.

Ha SA-AN proposes an art that breaks away from conventional modes of perception, dissolving the boundaries between vision and voice, object and emotion, language and form. Her work speaks to those beyond academic or institutional contexts—to anyone open to sensing, rather than analyzing, art. At this boundaryless edge, her practice orchestrates a delicate yet bold harmony between softness and severity, chaos and stillness, instinct and intention.
